Mt Rainier on Wilson/Nisqually Glacier
Mount Rainier is my ultimate goal.
Training up to 8000ft. Hopefully one day I make it to the top.😰😰😰😰
Highlights:
- Jumping over crevasse is scary!
- Going down is more difficult than going up (if you are fit)
- You need glacier glasses that protects you from the sun light bouncing on all the snow
- I wouldn’t do this only in 2, I think to be on a safe side you need 3 people tied in together
- You need to time it right, at noon we heard a lot of rock falling as snow melts faster
- Overall I was super excited even though I slipped twice and had to use my ice axe and crampons to stop myself rolling down into a crevasse.
